First meeting point is in Brighton at 7.55am by the Brighton Pier
2nd meeting point is at Patcham Place Recreation ground at 8.15am
Final Meeting point for this ride is at the Bus stop in Albourne @9am.

It is advised to ride in a gear for the non sprint parts of the ride in a gear between 68 and 72 inches.

Which is equal to :-
34x13
39x15
42x16
or
50x19
53x20

In these gears if you pedal around 100 revs per minute you will be travelling @ 20mph average.
Ultimately this is our target average speed for the whole ride.

If you are not used to PEDALLING in such easy gears you need to practice this to develop the ability to produce power at a high pedalling cadence.

Teaching the legs to pedal in this way will help you go faster when you increase the gear size later in the year.
